[...] The US respects UN invitations to legitimate leaders of nations even when we have no diplomatic relations with them. However, the Obama administration would have grounds to refuse a visa to Ahmadinejad, given the nature of the election and the dispute among Iranians over its legitimacy. Unfortunately, this administration doesn’t have that kind of imagination, and it has already all but endorsed Ahmadinejad. [...]

Gibbs is an epic loser, of course. His retreat is par for the O’Bozo course.

Gibbs was wrong to say that, and I’m glad he’s reversing course on it. orange on August 5, 2009 at 12:45 PM

Now if only you had the courage to disagree before he reversed course.

It was posted in a way that was easy to read, unlike some longer posts I have seen on here. I liked it.

I posted the Gibbs story (with a picture of Neda Agha-Soltanon) my Facebook page. It was graphic but I was making a point.

Is it wrong to want to shock people out of their complacency?

Obama Administration Recognizes Ahmadinejad Government…

So eager are they to appease the Iranians that they recognize a president which by any standard “stole” the election, then murdered his opponents in the streets, and then tortured more to death in his prisons. But hey, I guess Obama has nev…

If reading is a problem, blogging may not be your thing.

I would never presume to be so superior as to tell someone on here what to say and how they need to say it.

If posts this long are allowed at HA, any problem with me dropping in my newest novel? It’s about a mutant five-legged dog who finds his soulmate in a three-legged bitch and their trials and tribulations while being hunted down by aliens flying around in spaceship shaped like a taco. Only 646 pages.

Thanks for the whining.

Now if you could post the rules and regulations for what we are able to post about and how much we can post about it
I will make sure not to harm your delicate and sensitive persona in the future.

I find Baxter Greene’s comments to be illuminating and very well researched and documented. If they are too taxing for your intellect, by all means skip over his posts and move on to something more suited to your abilities, such as Tom & Jerry reruns or Spongebob Squarepants soliloquies.

You ladies whine much.
What’s the matter, reading keeping you from watching the View today.

Maybe you could let me know what is acceptable,how long a post is allowed to be,and what I should be allowed to say.

If reading is a problem for you blogging may not be your thing.

This president is a disaster. This administrations erroneous beliefs will culminate in a colossal mishap. Our Neophyte-in-chief won’t refute or even show an ounce of disdain for these dictators. Obama and his sycophants will lead this country into disaster.

Super – send Obama over immediately to fellate the winning guy for a photo op.

Nice, sloppy congratulations. Hope and change and all that.

I mean, what action would greater illustrate the Obama “administration’s” approach to enemies who have vowed to destroy us?

And Dinner Jacket will find it a nice change from the usual goat banging he engages in.

He needs a release from ordering all of that torturing and killing.

Heh. Funny that we expect the closet Marxists in the White House to support democracy over totalitarianism, even after they make it plain that they want to be friends with the likes of Castro, Chavez, Zelaya, Abbas, and Ahmadinejad, while essentially abandoning Israel, the democratic movement in Iran, and the constitution of the Honduras.
The administration’s international intentions should no longer be a surprise. Where they stand is quite clear.

Yeah, I think it’s kinda hilarious when folks bitch about the length of a post when they have no financial stake in the matter, and all they have to do is click past it if it is such a burden for them to bear.

I am pretty sure it is a case of ~~penis~~ posting envy.

Baxter always backs up every one of his posts with links; much more so than I have the patience to do.

If they don’t like his comments, all they have to do is skip’em. This isn’t the U.S.S.R., … yet.
